Everyone wants trust… but mostly, it’s not built in grand gestures — it’s built in what you do every day.
The small moments matter more than most people realise. If relationship conflict is making trust feel shaky, support can help.

Everything I read is digital… so getting a real, physical book this week felt like such a treat 📖

HUNTEX is here…Winter is coming. For some this is a fun bonding season in Southern African and for others, one partner fills their cup and the other often carries more.
The shift? From entitlement → appreciation.
See each other. Thank each other. Take turns.

S€+uality and relationship struggles don’t exist in isolation—so often, there’s a trauma story underneath it all.

That’s why I integrate relationship and s••uality counselling with somatic trauma release work. When the nervous system feels safer, many things in your life can begin to shift—because you’re coming from a more embodied place.

I’m now a member of:
• Council for Se+ual Health Professionals (CSHP)
• European Federation of Se+ology (EFS)
• International Society for Se+ual Medicine (ISSM)
• South African Se+ual Health Association (SASHA)

Based in Johannesburg, working in Linden, and available online 🌍

Join me on a bike ride in the African bush as we chat about embodiment and how it shapes stress.

I’ve loved that the Artemis 2 journey has been happening while the moon’s been so visible during the day—sharing a few of those bush moments with you.

Just some thoughts from the weekend.
Wishing you a really beautiful week.

I’m Maz, and you can reach me at www.lovecounsel.co.za

Guys… quick heads up 😅
My website hasn’t been showing as secure for a few days now—likely since renewal.

And , who’s meant to manage it, can’t tell me what’s wrong and has basically said ‘wait and see’… helpful not helpful.

So if www.lovecounsel.co.za looked off—that’s on them, not you.

Please check back later today or WhatsApp me for bookings 🤍+2764 534 7046

There’s something really special about the space at Nature’s Way Midwifery 🤍

Being held by SR Sharon Marsay, and then watching moms hold each other…
It doesn’t just end at birth — it becomes community.

And this matters more than we think—
- Women in midwife-led continuity care report significantly higher satisfaction across pregnancy, birth, and postpartum (Forster et al., 2016) 
- And experience more emotional support, confidence, and connection through the transition into motherhood (Poggianella et al., 2023) 

Because how you’re supported in pregnancy and after birth, shapes not just you — but your relationship, your body, your intimacy.

This is why spaces like this matter.
And why pregnancy is also a doorway into deeper relational and sexual wellbeing.
Make sure you build and have a community to surround you in the postpartum years.

If you’re struggling, reach out.

Why do we sometimes only listen when an “expert” says it… but not when our partner does?

This isn’t just about men and women—it shows up across all relationships and genders.

Two key takeaways:
1️⃣ Your social conditioning shapes what you trust—logic, authority, emotion, or patterns. Notice what you automatically give weight to.
2️⃣ Strong relationships require taking influence—letting your partner’s perspective matter before there’s proof.

Connection isn’t built on being right.
It’s built on being relational.

If this is something you’re navigating in your relationship, my practice is here to support you.
